hat's what the frick I mean. LSU was not his preferred school and he would have stayed at tOSU had he not lost his job. LSU was the best option for him and yes...he landed in Coach O's lap.

That’s the part your not understanding and uneducated about. Initially when Burrow was looking to transfer his first choice was actually Cincinnati (after Frost Stupidly straight up told him he already had a QB).Yes it sounds crazy to say now how it all worked out but initially the Cincinnati option looked very attractive— a former Ohio State coach as HC with a team On the rise and burrow had several connections to the team not to mention being only a couple hour drive for his family to see him play.

It wasn’t until Joe and his family came down to Baton Rouge (a State he had never been to and knew nobody) and was pitched by O and Ensminger on the vision they had for Joe and were able to get Joe to buy into that vision that he actually changed his mind about going to LSU rather than Cincinnati. So to insinuate that Burrow just fell into O lap is just not true. He had several other SEC schools interested as well and could have visited them as well But shut it down after the LSU visit. It’s a testament to Os recruiting prowess going back to hot Ole Miss days— he’s always been a killer recruiting closer.
